    Heading downtown later today and was hoping to maybe have some BCS and/or variants on tap. I looked on Beermenus but it was not really showing much. Anyone know if this is available anywhere in the downtown area? I will be staying on Michigan Ave. Heading down around 5pm. Thanks!

    Beermiscuous has it on tap now.
    Timothy O'Toole's should still have it on tap.
    Goose Island Fulton Taproom had everything on the last few days.
    Fatpour may still have some on tap.
    Binny's South Loop has 2013 BCB Barleywine on tap

    Anyone know of a place planning to tap any this Saturday. Have a rare babysitter night out planned and this would make my night. Bonus points for a place in the NW burbs! Cheers!

    Just left O'Tooles. Had coffee on tap and they had bottles of prop and others as well. Got a bottle of prop too. 3 blocks from my hotel. Really appreciate the guidance brother!!

    Anyone know when are we going to see that 'BCS will/should be available year-round' rumor from years ago finally come to fruition?

    Had to dig back to 2012 to find the article where that bit appeared:
    http://chicagoist.com/2012/04/16/the_honk_heard_round_the_world_goos.php

    The article also features Laffler talking about how he's sticking with GI. Off Color must have been in the works by then, so take what you will from that...

    And given that lines on Black Friday were larger than ever (despite what I'd argue is probably the most lackluster BCBS lineup since 2012), that ain't happen anytime soon, either.

    Props to @JimmyShaker1 for this heads up. Just had perhaps my best work lunch ever as I ordered a bottle of Prop. It was delicious - I liked the balance of sweet and spice/heat. I didn't want to finish it and completely ruin my work afternoon, so I left the last third of the bottle with some other guys drinking BC at the bar.

    Paying it forward! I posted yesterday asking for a place in the city with a good BCBS selection and a kind BA shared this place. Glad u enjoyed!

    Well shit, if this stuff is still on tap tomorrow I might wander over for lunch, myself. Hard to pass up BCBS on tap, and those prices are solid!
